Valencia, Alicante, Spain

On a vantage point overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and the imposing Ifach Rock, this project is located at a short distance from
Benisa coastline and enjoys the advantages of its surroundings: the tranquility of the hillside compared to the dynamism of the touristic towns of the Mediterranean coastline.
It is blessed with a unique combination of silence, fresh air, exotic nature and sea views but is within 5 minutes drive to the local shops, eateries and nightlife entertainment. The maximum respect for the existing topographical layout of the plot and its natural surroundings, added to the desire to maximize the contemplation and enjoyment of the privileged views, are the determining factors in the design of this house.
The exterior appearance of the property emulates the traditional dry stone masonry walls of the terraced elds found in the area and the plot's surface features have been taken into account so that the construction process does not need to resort to major earthmoving operations, keeping the impact on the existing land to a minimum and seeking to maintain the garden landscaping in the form of the traditional stepped levels.
The layout of the house is conceived to enjoy the panoramic views to the Mediterranean Sea.Thus, on the rst oor, the vistas are delimited to hide the views to the adjacent plots, prolonging the horizon that opens up towards the pool terrace and the midday sunshine. On the contrary, on the more public ground oor, the visual eld opens up and covers a wider spectrum.
